Chinese "fried" Rice Noodles
from: archimageiros

Healthier than wok-fried noodles, these are microwaved and full of flavor. Very delicious and reminescent of the fried rice-noodle dish at our local Chinese restaruant. I used reduced-sodium soy sauce and it turned out really well.

SERVES 4

1 (10 ounce) package rice vermicelli

2 cups sliced mushrooms, fresh

4 green onions

1 (6 ounce) can water chestnuts

1 carrot

3 garlic cloves

1/2 cup bottled sweet and sour sauce

4 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 pinch cajun seasoning

1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Heat 5 or more cups water in microwave until boiling (about 8 minutes in a 600-watt microwave). Remove from microwave; add vermicelli to water. Allow to soak for 15-20 minutes.

Juliennne or thinly slice green onions, carrot, and garlic. Place in microwave-safe bowl and toss with sliced mushrooms and water chestnuts. Microwave for 7-9 minutes on high, until tender.

Pour some (not all) of the mushroom juice off and add sauces and seasonings to vegetable mixture.
